“…script of invocations of web services from service layer. One of the goals of this architectural decision is to provide the ability to integrate both grid and cloud services (each having its own strengths) into a single complex thus forming a "grid-cloud bridge" [14,7,2,10].…”

This paper presents a multi-layered architecture of computer simulation software capable of utilizing grid and cloud resources, characterized in that the functionality of the system is distributed according to a service-oriented approach, and the system supports the execution of custom user-defined computing scenarios in grid or in cloud (by web services orchestration with an adherence to existing standards) but hides the complexity of direct web services management from the user with the help of the abstract workflow model and a web-accessible problem solving environment with a graphical workflow editor.

“…Some authors (Philbin, Prior, & Nagy, 2011) see utility in cloud computing offering professional service quality and a sustainable solution with clear interfaces. On the other hand, grid and cloud technologies are regarded as complementary (Rings et al, 2009). Volunteer computing systems have likewise been used in medical computing (Abdennadher, Evequoz, & Billat, 2008;Ben Belcagem, Abdennadher, & Niinimaki, 2012).…”

This paper presents a general and comparative review of the advances of grid technologies in medical sciences since 2000, with a special emphasis on Europe and Japan. The EU has over the years funded several big projects in the Grid and now the cloud area, covering besides the high energy physics domain also bioinformatics and medical applications as in image analysis. Bioinformatics and pharmaceutical design have been the major targets of grid applications in Japan. Grids and clouds share many of the same goals and techniques, although clouds are more commercially oriented and privately provided services and grids are rather publicly initiated resource sharing platforms between institutions without strong economic objectives. In the future, merging these two may potentially solve inter-operation problems of grids, which have been limiting the propagation of biomedical grids.

“…We primarily view cloud computing as infrastructureas-a-service, offering relatively bare bones systems on top of which a user or organization needs to deploy and manage their applications and data [36]. The biggest challenge in cloud computing is the lack of a standard or single architectural method which can meet the requirements of an enterprise cloud [35].…”

Digital preservation is the persistent archiving of digital assets for future access and reuse, irrespective of the underlying platform and software solutions. Existing preservation systems have a strong focus on grids, but the advent of cloud technologies offers an attractive option. We describe a middleware system that enables a flexible choice between a grid and a cloud for ad-hoc computations that arise during the execution of a preservation workflow and also for archiving digital objects. The choice between different infrastructures remains open during the lifecycle of the archive, ensuring a smooth switch between different solutions to accommodate the changing requirements of the organization that needs its digital assets preserved. We also offer insights on the costs, running times, and organizational issues of cloud computing, proving that the cloud alternative is particularly attractive for smaller organizations without access to a grid or with limited IT infrastructure.
